I have a cooker switch which isn’t connected to a socket. The socket behind the cooker doesn’t have a switch so assumed it’s connected to the cooker switch but it doesn’t switch the cooker off. I checked the circuit breakers and the switch is connected to the “cooker” breaker but the socket...
I have a Garo Entity Pro and my phone cannot find the Garo-CU to connect my wifi to the Garo app so at the moment it is charging at 16A and I would like to change it to 32A, is there a manual way to change the amperage inside the charging unit. Thanks for any advice.

Trying to connect a 50 amp inlet box to my Siemens outdoor combination panel 200 amp cutoffs. Can’t figure out where to insert the 50 amp breaker since the 200 amp breakers appear to cover the whole panel. The panel has two 200 amp breakers, but want to connect it to just one of the panel...
If there isn't a 2-pole isolator there already, I usually get the client to arrange to get one fitted before I do a board change, either through their energy supplier, or (if they also need a PME earth, or their energy supplier is faffing around) through National Grid (formerly WPD).

Hello,
We changed plans with lighting in one zone. Now instead of 4 downlights (square shape of 1400mm side) we want a chandelier. Since downlights are already wired and gyprock installed we cannot wire it up separately to the downlights.
I asked the supervisor to not drill holes so we can do...

I looked at all of the bulbs and they are all connected together, in series.
Or at least a...

Hi, I want to add a PIR to a porch light but I want the original light switch to still behave as it always has.
i.e. both the light switch and the PIR can switch on the light.
The diagram shows what I want to do. The circuit is pretty simple and will work as I want. My question is this... Is it...
